Our Regenerative Injection Treatments

Orthopedic Evaluation

Every treatment begins with a detailed examination to identify the source of pain and determine whether regenerative injections are appropriate. Imaging may be recommended to evaluate joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or surrounding soft tissues.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections

Platelet-rich plasma, commonly known as PRP, uses a concentrated portion of the patient’s own blood to support the body’s natural healing response in injured or degenerative tissues.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy involves injecting a specialized solution into injured ligaments, tendons, or joint-supporting tissues to stimulate a controlled healing response.

Ultrasound-Guided Injections

Ultrasound guidance allows the injection to be delivered accurately to the affected joint, tendon, ligament, or soft tissue while minimizing irritation to nearby structures.

Joint Injections

Regenerative joint injections may be considered for patients with arthritis, cartilage wear, or persistent joint pain that has not improved sufficiently with rehabilitation alone.

Tendon and Ligament Injections

These injections may support recovery in chronic tendon and ligament conditions caused by overuse, degeneration, or previous injury.

Rehabilitation After Injection

A personalized rehabilitation program may be recommended after treatment to improve mobility, restore strength, and support long-term recovery.

Activity Modification

Our specialists provide guidance on exercise, work, and daily movement to protect the treated area and reduce the risk of reinjury.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are regenerative injections?

Regenerative injections are treatments intended to support the body’s natural healing response in damaged or degenerative musculoskeletal tissues.

What is PRP?

PRP is prepared from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. The platelet-rich portion is concentrated and injected into the affected area.

Are regenerative injections suitable for everyone?

No. Treatment suitability depends on the diagnosis, severity of the condition, overall health, and previous treatments. An orthopedic evaluation is required before treatment.

Do regenerative injections work immediately?

Not usually. Some patients may experience gradual improvement over several weeks as the healing response develops.

How many injections are needed?

The number of injections depends on the condition, severity, treatment type, and individual response. Some patients may need one treatment, while others may require a series.

Are the injections painful?

Most patients experience only temporary discomfort during or after the procedure. Ultrasound guidance helps improve accuracy and minimize unnecessary tissue irritation.

Can I exercise after treatment?

Activity may need to be temporarily modified. Your orthopedic specialist will provide specific instructions and recommend when to resume exercise.

When should I seek immediate medical attention?

Seek prompt evaluation if severe swelling, increasing redness, fever, worsening pain, loss of sensation, or significant weakness develops after an injection.

Can international patients receive treatment?

Yes. Relief Orthopedics welcomes international patients, expatriates, visitors, and medical travelers seeking regenerative injection treatment in Seoul.
